Drive Chain Slider; Sprocket And Pinion; Tires/Wheels - Can-Am 2008 DS 450 Operator's Manual

Drive Chain Slider

Check the drive chain slider frequently,
see the MAINTENANCE CHART.
Replace the drive chain slider when it
is worn.
See an authorized Can-Am dealer for
replacement.

Sprocket and Pinion

Check the sprocket axle and pinion for
distortion.
1. Good
2. Replace
CAUTION: Replace chain, sprocket
axle and pinion together to prevent
rapid chain and sprocket wear. In-
stall a new retaining ring each time
the pinion is removed.

Tires/Wheels

When the tires are replaced, never
install a bias tire with a radial tire.
This combined application may
create handling and/or stability
problems.
Do not mix tires of different size
and/or design on the same axle.
Front tire pairs or rear tire pairs
must be the identical model and
manufacturer.
For unidirectional tread pattern,
ensure that the tires are installed
in the correct direction of rotation.
The radial tires must be installed
as a complete set.
Severe injury or death can result
if you do not follow these instruc-
tions.
Tire Pressure
Tire pressure greatly affects vehi-
cle handling and stability. Under-
pressure may cause tire to deflate
and rotate on wheel. Overpres-
sure may burst the tire. Always
follow recommended pressure.
Since tires are low-pressure types,
a manual pump should be used.
Check pressure when tires are COLD
before using the vehicle. Tire pres-
sure changes with temperature and
altitude. Recheck pressure if one of
these conditions has changed.
For your convenience, a pressure
gauge is supplied in tool box.
